A Halloween benefit featuring DJs, games, and prizes. Costumes are suggested.

Unsmoke Systems is a gallery/artist work space in Braddock. This huge building is perfect for large parties and gallery shows. Geekstar attended one of Unsmoke Systems’ last events, and it was packed out. People were arriving all night and it was a LOT of fun. The artists in residents are from all over the country and are very talented. They create work in a variety of different mediums.

The night will feature DJing by Lauren G. and Nikkles of Hoof & Beek, and performances by Brain Jamage (aka Barkley Bronson and Manson) and John Raymond of the Strange Cocktail.

Halloween-themed trappings, created by the resident UnSmoke artists, will transform the gallery space for the evening.

Unsmoke is bringing back the kitschy Halloween games of childhood – including bobbling for apples (and bananas!) – with prizes for the winners.

Podcamp Pittsburgh is almost famous for coining the tech term “bacn” last year. “Bacn” was recognized in the NY Times. Holla.
